NUT BUTTER CRUNCH

2 sticks butter
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup finely chopped nuts

Melt butter over low heat in pan. Add sugar and stir until melted. Add water and syrup. Continue cooking over low heat until syrup, dropped in cold water becomes brittle (320 degrees). Don't undercook. Remove from heat. Pour onto greased platter or cookie sheet. This should be thin. Cool until hardened. Melt chocolate over hot water. Spread on crunch. Sprinkle nuts over top and pat in. Break into pieces.

This is similar to a Heath bar. You must hide it if you expect it to last!!
